HOLY CRAP! YOU'RE ALIVE!! *glomps*

Ahh, reading this was like a breath of fresh air. I was actually surprised that I understand the terminology XD Anyways, you're still an awesome writer - lots of details, good characterization, and an engaging plot. I couldn't take my eyes off when I was reading XD I do think it's kinda odd that Sonic doesn't just run to China... The whole "fastest thing alive" bit... yeah. The only "criticism" I can actually point out is to make sure that it still reads as a Sonic fanfiction, not as a military fanfiction-like thing that Sonic just happens to be in.

But yeah, besides that, you're still one of my fav authors XD

I have been waiting for this chapter a long time and I'm glad my patience have paid off. This is chapter is one of best chapters I have seen in while on this website. Full of details, it has action and easy to read, some writers should take some points from your writing style to improve theirs.

Wow. This is much better then your average StH story, props to you!

And if your looking for other sources of inspiration. Try looking a Tom Clancy's End War and/or H.A.W.X. It may just help.
Look them up a Game Trailers dot com, if you want.

As for Sonic, try telling Amy if he wasn't there Aiquo would have never gone home at all.

Till next time.

Wow, you’re a talented writer. The part with Knuckles and Rouge starting a new relationship was my personal favourite. All I can say is this story is not a waste of space and deserves to stay on this sight. Also update and have fun doing so, I’ll be waiting to read another chapter.

LOL, I think I'm only understanding... about 11/12 of what you're writing ^_^;;. Still, I like this style of writing. It's very interesting.

I have one complaint (only one!). When someone speaks, it's a comma, not a period. I know, I know, I'm so picky...

“Yeah, and I'm a direct descendant of the survivors.” He answered plainly.

Should be:

“Yeah, and I'm a direct descendant of the survivors,” he answered plainly.

Knuckles was also a tad OOC during that part. I wouldn't expect him to forgive and forget so easily. Both he and Rouge are probably too proud for that.

Ok, so that was two complaints, but they're small. I highly doubt that you'd get burned for it ^_^;;

UPDATE!!

Bravo, bravo! What a wonderful mixture you have here. Sonic in an extremely serious (seemingly) situation. A fool entwined with politics, scandals, war and just plain dirt. That, my colleague, I congratulate you on. The idea is marvelous.

Although I feel a little biased, since I both know the colorful events of history throughout the cold war and I have played the game, I cannot stay silent about the style.

You need quite a vocabulary to describe the militant scenes, thus, resulting in length. Impressive.

No comments for humor. You serve the heavy meals with a few easy-to-apprehend surprises. Not bad.

In fact, this kind of reminds me introductions in real novels. The reader is in chaos, confused. Names, names, names that don't seem to mean a thing. But then, after a chapter or two, all is explained, piece-by-piece. You are close, but it's not exactly "it", though.

However, as you can see...this review does not end here. Yes, there are flaws. And because you were rather wordy about it, the negative points were shallow, yet plentiful. Let's get started, shall we?

I'll begin with the things easier to swallow, details, grammar.

First off, the age listing is a script format leftover. Such lists belong in plays, never in prose. You know narration, explain that within.

Your paragraphing is flawed. Check my essay about formatting to find out how to fix the mistakes. Most errors were dialogue-oriented. So were punctuation marks. "I like it here," he said." would be the best example of punctuation in a single paragraph. Moving on!

Next come the abbreviations. You use dots for some and omit them in others. Omitting them in general would be a good idea since you use a lot of them. Also, if you are unable to explain some in the narration, do inform the audience in footnotes.
Concerning "gulag", my opinion is for it to be capitalized entirely since GULAG was an organization in the USSR that took care of petty camping.

By using a lot of names, some of which existed in history, you might be putting this story at risk. I had no opportunity to check out every name, but you are not allowed to use any human that is still alive. There was talking about "President Bush".

Description seems to be in good condition, but for some reason I feel that everything is going too fast. You overload the reader with information. This does add interest, I admit, but a weaker mind should be accelerated slowly, as it might tie itself in a knot after the first chapter. This is no paradise for a skimmer, I should say.

There were peculiar things, though. Sonic swearing can be taken as an error here. Perhaps it does not sound as offensive this way, but the rating lets you use the real expressions. The same goes to slang terms like "gonna", "gotta", "ain't", "alright" etc. Pronunciation is not your guide. Spell like you should. Extra stylicisms can only outdate a story sooner.

I find it in stories often, but when somebody shouts, you are not to overcapitalize words. "NOT" looks terrible if you write it by hand, too. You are allowed to use bold or underlined. I doubt it would get this story removed, but having everything done right should be your top priority.

In addition, there was an example of how an idea slipped: “Great! I'll let... hold one a minute.” I might be wrong, but I guess this sentence was edited after being written...and the edit didn't come out right.

Moving further, the ellipse "..." can be used without a space (no capital!) when it is a pause in one sentence, but if you add a space, you must add a capital next to it (for two sentences when it is instead of a period).

Finally, you mention Tails making some sort of aircraft ("bird", notice the quotation marks. Add them to Sonic's speech) to fight...Egg Carriers. It is strange to think that an insignificant fighter can fight a whole armada of gigantic ships. An Egg Carrier is huge!

I am rather confused due to the world map. What kind of universe are you using? It kind of reminds me of Sonic X while Angel Island was there, but Mobius with our countries... You should do something about it.

One of the tougher predicaments would be motivation. I would like to have a background for each character's actions. It is not compulsory, but...high standards require high quality...

And by the looks of it, this is far above average.

Well done!

Have a nice, abuse-free day.
